This document summarizes the histology of the lymphatic system. It describes the main lymphoid organs as lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and tonsils. Lymph nodes contain an outer cortex with lymphoid nodules and germinal centers, and an inner medulla with medullary cords and sinuses. The spleen has a capsule dividing it into white pulp with lymphoid nodules and red pulp with splenic cords and sinusoids. The thymus has a dark staining cortex containing immature lymphocytes and a light staining medulla with thymic corpuscles. Tonsils consist of lymphoid nodules in crypts, covered by stratified squ
Lymph nodes are oval structures that filter lymph and help the immune system fight infections. They contain a capsule that admits lymph through afferent vessels and releases it through efferent vessels. The lymph circulates through sinuses in the cortex and medulla before exiting. Lymph nodes vary in size and receive blood only at the hilum. They contain lymphatic tissue to combat pathogens by generating antibodies and immune cells that travel via efferent lymph vessels.
The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid tissues that work together to drain excess fluid from tissues, absorb and transport fatty acids from the gut, and help fight infection. Lymph is formed when interstitial fluid drains into initial lymphatic vessels and circulates through a network of vessels, nodes, ducts, and eventually returns to the bloodstream. Lymph nodes filter lymph as it circulates and contain immune cells that help fight pathogens. The major lymphatic ducts are the thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct which drain lymph into the bloodstream in the neck.
The lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic tissue, and lymphatic organs. Lymph is a clear fluid that transports tissue fluid, lymphocytes, bacteria, and cancer cells through lymphatic vessels and capillaries. The vessels converge in lymph nodes before draining into the subclavian veins. Primary lymphatic organs are the red bone marrow and thymus, which produce lymphocytes. Secondary lymphatic organs include lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, Peyer's patches, and appendix, which filter lymph and mount immune responses.
The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and immune system. It is composed of lymph capillaries that branch throughout the body and collect lymph fluid high in white blood cells. The lymph vessels drain the lymph fluid into the lymph nodes where the fluid is filtered before emptying into the bloodstream via two main lymphatic ducts. The lymphatic system also includes the thymus, spleen, bone marrow, and collections of lymphatic tissue in the respiratory and digestive tracts that help fight infection and produce immune cells.
This document outlines a lecture on lymphoid tissues and lymphoid organs. It discusses the different types of lymphoid tissue, including diffuse lymphoid tissue found throughout the body, and nodular lymphoid organs like lymph nodules, lymph nodes, the thymus, tonsils, and spleen. For each organ, it describes the structure, cellular composition, location in the body, and basic functions. The goal is for students to understand the types, structures, and roles of the major lymphoid tissues and organs in the immune system.
Lymph nodes are bean-shaped organs found clustered along lymph channels throughout the body, except in the placenta and brain. There are over 800 lymph nodes total, with around 300 located in the head and neck. The secondary lymphatic organs, which include the spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, and appendix, are where lymphocytes encounter antigens and proliferate. Disorders of the lymphatic system can spread easily throughout the body via its vessels and are often devastating due to this widespread nature. The spleen acts as a blood filter, detecting foreign antigens and activating immune responses, and it can store and remove old blood cells.

The lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymph nodes, lymph vessels, the spleen, thymus, tonsils, bone marrow and skin-associated lymphoid tissues. The main cells of the lymphatic system are lymphocytes such as B cells, T cells, natural killer cells, and supporting cells that interact with and present antigens to lymphocytes. The lymphatic system protects the body from foreign materials, assists in fluid circulation, and transports dietary fats. The thymus gland aids in the maturation of T cells while the spleen filters blood and mounts an immune response to antigens. Lymph nodes are located around arteries and veins and filter lymph fluid draining tissues.
The lymph node is a small bean-shaped object which factors in the body's immune system. Lymph nodes clean out substances that travel through the lymphatic fluid, and they contain white blood cells that are the body's defense when fighting off ailments. There are many lymph nodes found throughout the body.
The document summarizes the microscopic structure and function of lymphatic organs including the thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils. It describes the distribution of T and B lymphocytes in these organs. The thymus differentiates T lymphocytes. Lymph nodes contain B and T cell regions and filter lymph. The spleen contains white pulp with B cell follicles and red pulp for filtering blood. Tonsils contain lymphoid tissue in the pharyngeal mucosa and tonsillar crypts.
The lymphatic system has three functions:
Fluid recovery.
Immunity
Lipid absorption
The lymphatic vessels of the small intestine receive the special designation of lacteals or chyliferous vessels.
The components of the lymphatic system are :-
lymph, the recovered fluid;
Lymphatic vessels, which transport the lymph;
Lymphatic tissue, composed of aggregates of lymphocytes and macrophages that populate many organs of the body; and
Lymphatic organs, in which these cells are especially concentrated and which are set off from surrounding organs by connective tissue capsules.

Anatomy & physiology of lymphatic systemTahir Ramzan
The document summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system and discusses pathological features of inflammation and infection. It describes the components of the lymphatic system including lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphatic tissues. It then discusses the functions of the lymphatic system and pathological conditions like Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Burkitt's lymphoma.
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It also maintains fluid balance and plays a role in absorbing fats and fat-soluble nutrients.
The lymphatic or lymph system involves an extensive network of vessels that passes through almost all our tissues to allow for the movement of a fluid called lymph. Lymph circulates through the body in a similar way to blood.
There are about 600 lymph nodes in the body. These nodes swell in response to infection, due to a build-up of lymph fluid, bacteria, or other organisms and immune system cells.
A person with a throat infection, for example, may feel that their "glands" are swollen. Swollen glands can be felt especially under the jaw, in the armpits, or in the groin area. These are, in fact, not glands but lymph nodes.
The lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphocyte-containing tissues. It collects fluid that leaks from blood vessels, known as lymph, and returns it to the circulatory system. The lymph flows through a network of thin-walled lymphatic vessels and passes through lymph nodes, which contain immune cells. Any foreign substances are filtered out before the lymph rejoins the bloodstream in larger veins in the neck.
The lymphatic system is a drainage system that works alongside the venous system to remove tissue fluid from interstitial spaces. Lymph capillaries absorb excess tissue fluid and transport it through lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes, where it is filtered. The filtered lymph then drains into either the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct and returns to the bloodstream. The lymphatic system removes larger particles from tissues and transports mature lymphocytes throughout the body. Key components include lymph vessels, central lymphoid tissues like bone marrow and thymus, peripheral lymphoid organs like lymph nodes and spleen, and circulating lymphocytes in the bloodstream.
The lymphatic system helps fight infection and disease. It is composed of lymph vessels that carry lymph fluid containing white blood cells. Lymph fluid is similar to plasma but contains larger particles like bacteria and damaged cells. Lymph vessels connect to lymph nodes which filter the lymph and contain lymphocytes that fight infection. The largest lymph vessels are the thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct which drain lymph into the bloodstream. Disorders of the lymphatic system include lymphomas, lymphadenitis, and lymphedema.
The lymphoid system circulates lymph through vessels and tissues like lymph nodes. It produces lymphocytes in primary organs like the bone marrow, thymus, and spleen. The thymus matures T cells in its cortex and medulla. Bone marrow generates blood cells and prevents backflow of lymph. Secondary organs like lymph nodes initiate immune responses when antigens are presented.
This document provides an overview of the cardiovascular system and its histology. It begins with objectives of describing the histological features of the heart and blood vessels. It then introduces the cardiovascular system and describes the histological features of the heart's three layers - epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. It also discusses the histology of blood vessels, including the layers of the vessel wall and differences between arteries, veins, and capillaries. Finally, it discusses some clinical applications regarding diseases that impact the cardiovascular system histology.
The document discusses several lymphatic organs: the spleen, lymph nodes, and tonsils. The spleen is a single organ that filters blood and mounts immune responses. It has a thick capsule, trabeculae that divide it into compartments, white pulp containing follicles with central arterioles, and red pulp with splenic cords and sinusoids. Lymph nodes filter lymph and mount immunity. They have a thin capsule, trabeculae arising from the capsule, cortex and medulla regions. The tonsils include the palatine, lingual, and pharyngeal tonsils which are partially encapsulated lymphatic tissue located in the oral cavity and nasopharynx that protect from bacteria.
The lymphatic system consists of lymph fluid, lymph vessels, and lymphatic organs that include lymph nodes and tonsils. Lymph is formed from interstitial fluid and contains water, proteins, cells, and other components. It flows from lymph capillaries through collecting vessels and trunks into the thoracic duct or right lymphatic duct and returns to the bloodstream. The lymphatic system helps remove excess fluid from tissues, transports fat and proteins, and plays a role in immune defense and absorption of nutrients. Disruptions in lymph flow can cause edema or other pathologies like lymphadenopathy or elephantiasis.
The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system. It describes the development of lymphatic vessels and organs like lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, and tonsils during fetal life. It also explains the structure and functions of these organs. The lymphatic system works with the immune system to produce and transport immune cells and lymph throughout the body. It helps maintain fluid balance and transports fat, proteins, and other molecules before returning to the bloodstream.
The kidneys filter blood to produce urine and are located between vertebrae T12-L3. Each kidney contains an outer cortex where filtering occurs and an inner medulla composed of renal pyramids. Blood enters the kidneys through the renal artery and leaves through the renal vein, undergoing filtration in structures called nephrons. Urine flows from nephrons through collecting ducts into minor calyces, major calyces, the renal pelvis, ureters, bladder, and urethra to exit the body. The ureters are muscular tubes that carry urine from kidneys to bladder. The bladder is a muscular reservoir organ where urine is stored before exiting through the urethra.

This document provides an overview of lymph nodes, including their anatomy, components, and function. Lymph nodes are oval shaped structures distributed along lymphatic vessels that filter lymph and help trap foreign substances. They have an outer cortex containing lymphoid follicles and T cells, and an inner medulla containing sinuses that drain lymph. Lymph nodes play an important role in the immune system by filtering lymph and providing an environment for immune cells like lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells to interact with antigens.
Human Anatomy and Physiology - Lymphatic system and body defensesJethro Baltazar
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance, absorbs fats, and aids the immune system. It contains lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph, the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. Lymph nodes filter lymph and add infection-fighting lymphocytes. Together with nonspecific defenses like skin and inflammatory response, and specific defenses like antibodies and lymphocytes, the immune system protects the body from pathogens. Disorders can cause allergic reactions, immunodeficiencies, or autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The lymphatic system develops after birth as the baby gains its own active immunity.

1) The thymus is a bilobed organ in the anterior mediastinum that plays a key role in T cell maturation. It has an outer cortex and inner medulla.
2) During development it arises from endoderm of the 3rd and 4th pharyngeal pouches. The thymic lobes are divided into lobules surrounded by a capsule.
3) Histologically it contains thymic epithelial cells that form a network, Hassall's corpuscles in the medulla, and developing thymocytes in the cortex.
4) The thymus involutes with age, developing cysts and adipose tissue, but can have residual islands of epithelium and lymphocytes into adulthood.
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ located in the superior mediastinum. It plays a key role in T cell development and maturation. The thymus has an outer capsule and is divided into lobules containing cortex and medulla regions. The cortex contains densely packed developing T cells and epithelioreticular cells. The medulla is less cellular and contains Hassall's corpuscles. Developing lymphocytes interact with epithelioreticular cells, which provide structural support and signals to guide T cell maturation.
The lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, lymph organs such as the spleen and thymus, and diffuse lymphoid tissues. It works to drain excess tissue fluid, absorb fat in the intestines, and help the immune system. The lymph vessels collect fluid from tissues and lymph nodes filter out debris. The spleen, thymus, tonsils, and other lymphoid tissues help the immune response and blood cell production.
The spleen is the largest lymphoid organ connected to the blood vascular system. It acts as a blood filter, playing a role in the immune response. Microscopically, it contains a fibrous capsule and trabeculae that divide the spleen into red pulp and white pulp. The red pulp contains blood sinusoids and filters aged red blood cells. The white pulp contains lymphocyte follicles that surround arterioles and produce antibodies. Blood enters via the splenic artery and drains into the portal vein via the splenic vein.
The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid tissues that work together to drain excess fluid from tissues, absorb and transport fatty acids from the gut, and help fight infection and disease. Lymph is formed from interstitial fluid that has leaked from blood vessels and is transported through unidirectional lymph vessels to lymph nodes where it is filtered and returned to the bloodstream to maintain fluid balance. The major components of the lymphatic system include lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs that circulate lymph in a stepwise fashion throughout the body.
Epithelium is a layered tissue that covers external and internal surfaces of the body. It was originally termed for the cellular covering of the nipple, as "nipple" is also called "thelium". Epithelium is predominantly cellular with numerous junctions and little intercellular material. It has several functions including protection, secretion, absorption and sensation. Epithelium is classified as surface epithelium or glandular epithelium, with surface epithelium further divided into classical and non-classical types. Simple squamous epithelium forms a thin layer one cell thick for functions like diffusion and filtration. Simple cuboidal epithelium appears as cells of equal width and height and includes renal tubules and the ovary
The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs that work together to drain fluid from tissues, absorb fats, and fight infection. Lymphatic vessels carry lymph fluid and drain into lymph nodes which filter the lymph before returning it to the bloodstream. Major lymphoid organs include the spleen, thymus and tonsils, which help produce immune cells and filter blood and lymph respectively. The lymphatic system is essential for fluid balance, fat absorption, and immune defense.

The liver is the second largest organ and largest gland in the body. It has a dual blood supply and is divided into lobules that contain hepatocytes, sinusoids, and a central vein. Blood flows into lobules through the portal vein and hepatic artery and out through hepatic veins. Hepatocytes are arranged in plates separated by sinusoids and produce bile that flows into canaliculi and out of the liver. The liver has regenerative abilities and its segmentation allows for resection of parts without damaging remaining tissue.
The lymphatic system consists of lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, and lymph organs such as the spleen and thymus. It works to drain fluid from tissues, absorb fats and nutrients, and help the immune system fight pathogens. Lymph passes through vessels and lymph nodes before returning to the bloodstream. The spleen filters the blood and removes old red blood cells, while the thymus gland helps develop immune cells. Disorders can include lymphangitis, lymphadenitis, and lymphomas.
The lymphatic system returns interstitial fluid and leaked plasma proteins back to the blood. It consists of a network of lymphatic vessels and lymphoid tissues scattered throughout the body. Lymph is composed of interstitial fluid that has entered lymphatic capillaries from tissues. It flows from capillaries through collecting vessels and trunks before draining into the subclavian veins. The lymphatic system works with the immune system and contains lymphocytes that help fight pathogens and cancer cells. Primary lymphatic organs like the bone marrow and thymus gland produce lymphocytes while secondary organs like lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and Peyer's patches help the immune response.
The spleen is a soft, freely movable organ located in the upper left quadrant of the abdominal cavity. It plays an important role in the immune system by filtering blood and removing old red blood cells and platelets. Histologically, the spleen contains a capsule and is divided into red pulp and white pulp. The red pulp contains blood-filled sinusoids that filter the blood, while the white pulp contains lymphoid nodules that help fight infections. Blood flows into the spleen via the splenic artery and drains into veins before exiting the organ.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
